Chapter 1: Love at First Sight

Humphrey sat in his calculus class and pondered about Kate. "How does she keep coming to mind?" He thought, eventually looking up and seeing her beautiful amber eyes and her amazing, almost velvet looking fur.

His trance was broken when she spoke up. "You need something Humph?" She asked suspiciously, seeing Humphrey stare at her. "Wha-what n-no nothing." He said feeling awkward he was caught staring. "Well ok, just try not to stare." She said with a friendly giggle.

Humphrey had been in love with Kate since the moment he laid eyes on her in fifth grade. She was new, and she didn't know her way around the school, so humphrey offered to help, and they have been best friends ever since.

Kate was always doing something to get herself in trouble, like skipping class or talking back to the teacher. Humphrey's mother and father, Alice and Ivan Hessburg, never liked Eve or Winston, Kate's parents. They thought they were a bad influence, being so young with two daughters.

Humphrey didn't care what his parents thought, they never cared for him much, when he was born, his father didn't want him, and he was almost put up for adoption. He held a grudge against his dad for that forever. His mom liked him at First until he wasn't a cute baby anymore, she then lost interest and went back to drugs, along with his father.

When they were high they would take turns beating Humphrey, until he went to military camp, and bulked up so he was much stronger than hi father. His dad came into a lot of money when his grandfather died, and he spent it on cars, like the one in the crash, an '08 Charger.

It was Humphrey's least favorite out of them all, so he didn't care. He was distraught about his parents though. He blamed himself, even though in a deep dark place he knew they deserved it. He kept their picture on the wall out of guilt. They did look amazing though, with Alice's dark blue fur on the right, and Ivan's silver fur on the left, and in the middle, a mixture of the two, Humphrey.

Humphrey was lost in his day dream, and hadn't noticed the bell rang.

Humphrey's POV

I looked up from my desk and saw Kate standing in front of me with a hand on her hips, oh her beautiful hips. I then noticed everyone else was gone. "Oh shit, I guess I didn't hear the bell, haha." "Yeah, let's go we're gonna be late!" Kate said concerned. "Since when are you worried about being late?" I asked, puzzled. "Since the rule that if you are late three times, you will get a detention, which we both know I won't go to, then I'll get suspended." "Oh, well holy shit we better get to class." I said walking faster. "Come on hurry up" I said to Kate who was lagging behind.

In Kate's mind

"I hope he keeps walking so that I can look at his ass!"

Back to Humphrey's POV

"What do you want to stay back there and stare at me?" I asked, not really meaning it anymore than a joke, even though I wish it were more. Kate blushed at this. "Damn he caught me." She muttered under her breath. "What?" I asked genuinely curious at what she said. "Nothing!" She remarked rather loudly. "That was weird." I thought to myself.

We finally made it to second period, English. We walked through the door just as the bell rang. "That was close huh?" I said to Kate. "Yeah, too close. She said punching me in the arm. "Ow asshole!" I whispered jokingly. "Shut up douche" She said back with a slight giggle. This was why I like Kate so much, I can be myself around her.

I saw the seating arrangements, and me and Kate sat next to Salty, who was at a table by himself. "Well if it isn't the king of salt." I said reaching out for a fist bump. He returned it and said, "Haha I get it cause my name is Salty, so I have to be salty all the time." Kate and I laughed at this. "So what were you two up to this summer?" He asked. "Not much, just hanging out, playing video games and such."

"Silence!" Our new teacher, Mr. Gerecton screeched. I leaned in close to Kate and whispered, "Well this is gonna be a fun year." Sarcastically.

"Yeah loads." She said with a giggle.

"Your giggles are going to get us in trouble." I joked. "I can't help it, I'm a giggly bitch by nature. She said, letting out yet another giggle. "Is something funny Mrs…. Smith?" Mr. Gerecton said looking at his chart of names to find hers. "Told you." I whispered. She shot me a look that said "Fuck you" and said, "No sir."

"Then why were you giggling?" He said abruptly. "I don't know." Kate said. "Well "I don't know" isn't an answer, so that's strike one, two more and it's a detention." "Fuck me." She said in a voice only I could understand. That's because we were such good friends.

I looked over at the other tables. The popular people were at their designated table, the stoners at theirs, and then the jocks. From the jock table I saw two eyes staring at… us. I had no clue why, but then I realized they were locked on kate.

A/N: Wow a cliff hanger already! Tell me what you guys thought about this chapter. Should I keep them longer? Or shorten them? Tell me what you think! I sense a fight coming next chapter! Until next time
